walking in and out safely

Time flies. Chinese New Year came ... and the celebrations have just ended. Before CNY, I reminded myself not to overeat. However, I still overate on a few days ... but not too much.



I noticed this little red paper taped outside a flat in my block. The words on the paper means walking in and out safely. Nowadays I think not many households do this. When I was a child, we lived in a wooden house with a zinc roof in a kampong. We used to stick these red papers with auspicious words at certain places.



I have Singaporean traits too. One of them - I like free gifts and special offers. However, I will give a miss to those that require you to queue up for hours, wake up early in the morning or collect coupons.
